Spotify donated 1.7 million kroner to Trump’s inauguration and hosted a party featuring Ben Shapiro & Tim Pool. These companies and mega-rich CEOs don’t care about the workers who make their companies run, they care about cozying up to Trump’s oligarchical power.

Imagine an audio platform that's radical, accessible, open-source & puts the creator first. This Thurs join our guests Simon Vansintjan and Alex Rodríguez co-founders of Mirlo, as they highlight advancements and projections for @mirlospace which was featured on our Holiday List.

We couldn't agree more with @GrimKim. Alongside other worker-owned media like @DefectorMedia,@brickhousecoop,@GetAlternative, @mirlospace, & @means_tv, we're at the forefront of a cooperative renaissance of journalism & art -- in the face of an abyss being created by capitalism.
I read the big “future of media” piece. it had only one line about worker-owned publications (literally the only bright spot in this entire cursed industry) and a negative bias against unions. I don’t wanna be a part of whatever future these “important” media people are building

We wholeheartedly agree! Mirlo’s members have experience participating in both Resonate and Ampled. We’re looking forward to learning more about the various emerging alternative music sharing platforms.

Replying to @austinrobey_
agree as someone who was close to and worked with the resonate team. there's still space for better ways to do music.

Saying co-op platforms can't work because Resonate or Ampled didn't succeed is like saying restaurants won’t work because one neighborhood diner shut down. 1/

Artists need a solidarity economy. A solidarity economy needs artists. You're not going to create a solidarity economy without having artists at the forefront of that movement.

It's the birthday of the great poet and friend Fred Moten. How has his work influenced your life? You ran from but are still in, as he might say.

It’s our hope that there can be more in-depth discussions across projects. Finding common ground may create space to strengthen existing and emerging music platforms so they can best serve their respective communities.

In the spirit of cooperation, we’ll be on the lookout for how Subvert takes shape. Based on the conversations Mirlo contributors have had with music platform founders, we understand that there are different approaches to address some of the problems Mirlo is attempting to solve.
